Petits Fours: bite-sized pieces of NZ Theatre

Four award-winning plays. Four provocative storylines. Four bite-sized pieces of NZ Theatre. Waihi Drama is excited to present ‘Petits Fours’: 2016’s four best one-act plays as judged by the Playwrights Association of New Zealand.

APPETISER

Each performance begins with ‘The Imitation Game’, written by Colin Beardon and directed by Noeline Loader: One man, his social worker, and an invisible friend. Love can be found in the strangest places.

ENTREE

If you’re hungry for more, third place-getter, ‘New Zealander’ by Timothy Malcolm takes the next spot. Sara Single directs this story about an immigrant finding his place in a new land.

MAIN

‘A Much Bigger Story’ is told next. Written by June Allen and directed by Tracey Carter, the meaty script explores the choices of teenagers living on the streets. It won second prize in the 2016 competition.

DESSERT

Petits Fours ends on a sweet note with first prize-winner Robert Gilbert’s ‘Between The Aisles’. Elaine Jones directs this witty and imaginative work poking fun at theatre-goers.

‘Petits Fours’ runs October 7-9 and 14-16 with both matinee and evening performances. Tickets $15 each are available now through this website or in person at the Gold Discovery Centre in Waihi.
